In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Finding good #IIIF resources can take a bit of detective work. I’d love to build a community-powered guide to the best collections for #liiive users. Have go-to sites or repositories? Please share—I’d love to feature them in my next blog post! #DigitalHumanities

In the fall, I'm again slated to teach my "Mapping Rome: 753 BCE to 800 CE" GIS course. So I am revisiting an amazing project, Digital Augustan Rome, which I adore, except for the fact all the data and research is closed source. Linked open data would be much friendlier + drive traffic. A LOD 🧵

I've had this thought often in recent years, taken that comfort, and it is cold. Welcome, America, to a world so many live in.

If you used BERT to identify and classify 6,000 entities over 300 years, great! But if your article about that for a history journal ignores any reference to historical context (including lengthy, destructive, and cataclysmic war), your self driving car has driven into a ditch and burst into flame.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all
